Endowed Giving
Contributions of $10,000 or more can be used to establish an endowed fund, which will utilize the interest only
from the principle for projects, programs or scholarships in any given year, thereby preserving the ability to
make future awards from the fund. The interest derives from the investment of the principle amount and is based
on the current market yield. Investments are managed by the Finance Committee of the MCCC Foundation.
Designated Giving
Contributions made for a specific purpose are placed in restricted fund accounts and used only for that purpose.
Minimum amounts of $100 are required to establish and award a designated scholarship in any academic year. In the
case where funds are donated and the amount exceeds the desired purpose for any given year, the remaining funds
earn interest. Designated scholarships are many times created to honor someone, memorialize a special person, or
provide support for students preparing for a certain career.
Unrestricted Giving
Contributions made to the MCCC Foundation for general, unspecified purposes are classified as unrestricted giving.
These gifts are used to address important needs of the college, its programs and its students. Unrestricted
donations for scholarships become part of the General Scholarship Fund which provides awards to students based
on financial need. Priority areas for awarding General Scholarships are identified each year by the MCCC Financial
Aid Office, and are adopted each year through voting action the MCCC Foundation. All General Fund Scholarships are
awarded in the academic year the donation is received.
